Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

jimm-8 This review gives away the remarkable twist at the end. So, if you don't want to know the result, look away now! Back in 1989, our family used to rent a video every Saturday night from our local store. Usually, it was a tacky horror film, nearly always forgettable, but very occasionally we got something a cut above the rest. The very few I recall include Neon Maniacs and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Most memorable of all was Spellbinder, from MGM/UA Video, because of its never-to-be-forgotten ending. The hero of the movie is about to be sacrificed by a bunch of devil worshippers. But, not to worry, his best friend is on his way, accompanied by two uniformed police officers. After a long sprint, they get there just in time, so everything's going to be fine, OK? Well, as Alfred Hitchcock liked to tell his audience: "So you think you know what's going to happen next, but do you?" The friend, of course, turns out to be the leader of the coven, but the scary part is the cops stripping off their uniforms to change into satanic robes. Even the devil never saw that coming!

mortiis33-969-390769 The summary above may sound harsh, but after just recently re-checking this film out after many years of forgetting about it the first time around when it was initially released, I can not really be anything but honest.Kelly Preston is (of course) beautiful, stunning, in fact, but her acting skills are just not really up to par for this title, and I don't think they ever truly improved a great deal from this either. In saying that, this film has a few jump-scares (the "classic jump-scares, not these modern day fillers), which are rather effective, and I really love the dog and cat which are in the film, they're so cute!Another fine thing about this film is it's soundtrack, in particular the instrumental piece by Tom Scott - "Siren's Song" which plays on the stereo system in Jeff's apartment when he first brings Miranda home. This is true 80's jazz influenced brilliance in all it's glory, and I wish I had a copy of the tune itself, but it is incredibly hard to track down (and I don't think included anywhere but within this film's soundtrack).All in all, a 4 out of 10 is rather generous, but I do love the animals in this, and Kelly's beauty is a nice distraction from this otherwise cliché and very boring late 80's thriller.

snafuone ** Possible Spoiler Alert **This movie will make you feel kinda uneasy, since it has to do with a satanic cult. Most horror movies like this are the best, because they contain a lot of creepy, scary goings on. You can show me a slasher flick and i won't be so disturbed, but the type of horror movie that gets me on edge is supernatural horror. Anything to do with ghosts, witches, goblins, demons, and Satan herself will be just what to watch at midnight with all the lights in the house off (and maybe a howling wind outside for added bonus). Check this movie out. It will leave you begging for more. It's even got Mrs. Roper from "Three's Company" in it, as a satanist. She was hiliarious in that show, and she's quite creepy and evil in this movie. The ending will really shock you, because it's a twist that you really didn't see coming. This movie is really underrated, but you'll enjoy it if you like your horror movies with inverted pentagrams, and hooded figures chanting around a campfire, ready to plunge a dagger into an innocent victim's chest and rip out their heart.

scotmandu69 Spoiler This film struck me very strongly when I first viewed it. I have never seen a film which killed its hero in such a unbelievable fashion. What is supposed to make a good movie, is laughed off as this film sticks it to you at the end, laughing at your expense. For this reason it should certainly be on DVD and a cult classic. I can't give it 10 stars however, it not exactly a quality production. The acting is poor and it isn't big on special effect. A low budget film, but memorable. I don't write reviews but this DVD should be available, any film I would watch more than once is one I would own.
